Lets's calculate LCM of 638,282
2 | 638, 282 |
319, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 319 x 141 = 89958
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/89958
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6973/638,3675/282 is 1/89958
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 638,282 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,282) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,282) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(638,282) = ( 638 × 282 ) / 2
LCM(638,282) = 179916 / 2
LCM(638,282) = 89958
